I'd say, strip them down and clean them till they are squeeky clean, with solvents and or warm soapy (Dawn) water
And have at it[8D]
One word of safety...Always keep your head in the game. It's easy to get distracted when shooting with friends and family. So make sure you mark your ramrods for the
Empty Barrel postion(Witness Marks) and the
Loaded postions so you can check your rifles at any stage in the loading procedure.
If you are in
any doubt about your load...
STOP, remove the breech plug, and push the whole load out the rear of the barrel and clean up, and start over
Let's all go home in one piece..Amen?
